	The Gorbals Story
		The conjecture is found on a fallacy because in the Gorbals District, the bishops drew the rents of the lands and the Teinds went to the Parsons of Govan.
		Gorbals was closely connected to Glasgow, for long it was the furthest down the Clyde that a bridge existed.
		On the other side of the Gorbals, the first house in Hutchesontown was built in 1794 and In 1803 Crown, Thistle, and Hospital leading to the annexation of the Gorbals (1846) and the remainder in 1878.

	Science Fair Projects - Gorbals
		The Gorbals is a predominantly working-class area on the south-side bank of the river Clyde in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
		The area is traditionally home to large numbers of Catholic immigrants from Ireland, as well as at one stage housing the vast majority of Scotland's Jewish population (although this group has subsequently abandoned the area).
		The Gorbals has long had a reputation as a gritty, rough area, and attempts to clear the slum tenements and replace them with new high-rise housing in the 1960s did little to improve this reputation.

	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
		The Gorbals was a predominantly working-class area on the south bank of the river Clyde in the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
		The barony and regality of the Gorbals was confirmed in 1606 by a charter of King James VI which vested the powers of regality over barony in Elphinstone and his descendants.
		In 1790 the lands were divided into lots; the City acquired the old feus of Gorbals and Bridgend, and also the Kingston portion of the Barony of Gorbals; the Trades' House obtained a western section; and the remaining section lying to the east and south was allocated to Hutchesons' Hospital.

	Glasgow Photo Library - Gorbals
		The social problems were probably at their worst in the Gorbals area, just south of the river Clyde.
		In the Gorbals, the old buildings were demolished and new high-rise flats arose in their place - as filing cabinets for people.
		The picture here is of the artwork "Gorbals Guardian" which is located on the edge of the area, amongst some of the new housing.

	Case Studies
		The Gorbals is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Glasgow with a rich history dating back to 1771 when the Parish of the Gorbals was created.
		The population of the Gorbals grew rapidly from being a small weaving village in 1795 to an expanding suburb in 1852, to a densely built urban centre in 1892 when it was the largest and most populous district in the city.
		Gorbals Initiative has developed an introduction to community development programme which leads on to a university delivered certificate in community work to encourage more local residents to become involved.

	Society \| Art thrives among the Gorbals tower blocks
		When plans to rip down the remaining houses in the Gorbals and replace them with flats affordable to local families were drawn up more than a decade ago, it was decided to insert a per cent for art clause in every developer's contract.
		In the initial phases of the Gorbals regeneration, the application of the per cent for art scheme was lacklustre.
		Although the Gatekeeper has had a mixed critical reception, it is popular with Gorbals residents and new house buyers: flats with views of it and the other art works are in greatest demand in the area.

	TGS - 1830s to 1914 - Neighbourhoods - The Gorbals
		In 1846, the Gorbals' administrative independence ended - Glasgow's boundaries were extended to include the area and the local police force merged with that of the city.
		The old Gorbals village, including all traces of both squalor and antiquity, was swept away in the 1870s by the Glasgow City Improvement Trust which later proceeded with the development of Oatlands, the Gorbals' third main present-day constituent.
		The Gorbals accommodated a wide variety of people attracted by the expanding city's employment opportunities and who were also, in some cases, fleeing persecution - initially from the Scottish Highlands and Ireland, but later joined by significant Jewish, Lithuanian and Asian communities.

	Gorbals debate
		Having read your remarks about Spence, the Gorbals flats and the airport, I felt I had to let you know that for residents of the flats to actually get into the lifts they had to endure what was almost a hurricane even on a calm day.
		The point with the Gorbals blocks is that they were badly designed, badly built and as a result, completely unfit for purpose.
		The fact that the Gorbals blocks were "visually stimulating" is not defence enough to classify them as good architecture, for in every other (and more important) aspect, they were a dismal failure.

	Clydesite rant The Gorbals
		In all my time working in the Gorbals (about five years, in bingo halls and pubs) I never once felt threatened.
		In a way they got blase about the way TV and film portrayed their area, to the point where they saw two Gorbals - theirs and the one the media wanted.
		I only once ever got anything remotely scary happening to me. I was working in a pub doing my karaoke when a guy, blootered out of his head (on alcohol) started tripping his drinken way to our equipment.
